This is my first pregnancy; how do I know if the baby is moving?

Sometimes you will feel slight movements, known as 'quickenings', from 16 weeks onwards, and proper movements after about 22 weeks. This is very variable, though, and the amount of movement is not a reflection on the health or activity of the baby because it can range from 'butterflies' to the baby 'somersaulting'. You should not be concerned if you are experiencing only few big movements early on in your pregnancy.

Is it true that if I don't feel the baby move more than ten times per day there is a problem?
My midwife says the baby feels small but the scan shows it''s a normal size. Who is right?
Three weeks ago, I had an ultrasound saying that I was 7 weeks. I should now be 10 weeks, but on the scan today my baby is measuring 14 weeks. Could an ultrasound be that wrong?
In the early days of pregnancy, before the placenta becomes functional, how does my baby get nutrients?
What protects the baby inside the womb-is it the amniotic fluid?
At what stage of pregnancy does the placenta embed itself in the uterine lining?
How soon in pregnancy can you hear the baby's heartbeat?
